Join us on November 20th: Rethinking the coloniality and violence of famines in the Global South

In this public lecture, as part of this year's ALMA Lecture Series, Swati Parashar (University of Gothenburg) sheds light on the slow and silent deaths, displacement and gendered suffering that occur in geographies of starvation, which are produced through colonial encounters. The lecture engages with the existing dilemmas of studying the violence of famines in the Global South. This public lecture will take place on 20 November at 7 p.m. at the University of Freiburg (KG III, HS 3044, hybrid participation possible).
